Life cycle and reproduction of Caliothrips phaseoli (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) on Fabaceae and Solanaceae (Plantae) in laboratory conditions

Insectos asociados a Crotalaria longirostrata Hook. & Arn. (Fabales: fabaceae) en La Chontalpa, Tabasco, México

“…El daño se manifiesta por la aparición de áreas blanquecinas que pueden cubrir gran parte del área foliar (Figura 4), lo que interfiere con el proceso de fotosíntesis y podría afectar el desarrollo de las plantas, así como provocar la depreciación del follaje para consumo humano. Este insecto es una plaga importante de otras fabáceas cultivadas, como son alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), cacahuate (Arachis hypogaeae L.), frijol (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), garbanzo (Cicer arietinum L.) y soya (Glycine max (L.) Merr) (King y Saunders 1984;Sosa et al 2017).…”

First record of Caliothrips phaseoli (Hood, 1912) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Apuleia leiocarpa (Fabaceae) seedlings in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

“…The damage (perforations and subsequent fall) caused to the leaves of A. leiocarpa (Figures 1) resulted from C. phaseoli feeding producing obvious lesions. This species reproduces by amphigonia and parthenogenesis with exclusively male offspring in the latter case (Sosa et al, 2017).…”

First record of Caliothrips phaseoli Hood, 1912 (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) causing damage to forage grasses

“…Females being larger than males, measuring approximately 1.1 mm (Lima et al 2020). The cycle from egg to adult lasts around 19 days in bean plants (Sosa et al 2017), with direct damage resulting from sap sucking, which causes injury and, depending on the attack and the plant attacked, punctures and leaf falls (Boscardin et al 2019). The occurrence of thrips in pastures did not appear to be worrying at the time of the cited attack; however, as the damage occurred at the beginning of the grass implantation, it can, in large infestations, reduce the photosynthetic area, delaying plant growth and consequently the formation of the pasture.…”
